The magneto-elastic effect characteristics of cable material are the seniority of optimizing the actuating magnetic field’s operating point of magneto-elastic cable tension sensors.However

there is few report about it.So experimental scheme for research of cable material’s magneto-elastic effect characteristics is proposed based on magneto-elastic effect theory of ferromagnetic material.Coils are designed according to cable material’s shape feature.Experimental system corresponding to experimental scheme is set up.The experiment used for material characteristics research of cable material’s magneto-elastic effect is carried out.The result indicates that the permeability decreases as force increases

and the magneto-elastic effect strengthens as the magnetic field increases before magnetization saturation area

and it reaches the strongest near the magnetization saturation area.It provides a basis for optimization of the magnetic field’s operating point of magneto-elastic cable tension sensors.
